BoingBoing reports that digerati loser R.U. Sirius is now writing interview material for one of those nutritional supplement marketers.
It’s perfect when you think about it. The self-promoting, fuzzy-minded bullshit that the Wired Magazine generation laps up, all in one package: bad science, cheap new age philosophy, hucksterism, logrolling, and greed. Now in a familiar form known as “vitamin fraud”.
I await their announcement that spamming is a new form of blogging, to be called “splogging” no doubt.

As an actual Wired Magazine subscriber, I just want to point out that I am not about greed at all.

“Vitamin Fraud” would be a good name for a band.

Band names
I came to the conclusion years ago that it’s more instructive, if maybe less fun, and a tad harder to find things that won’t make a good name for a band.
Even bad-images like “Sundering Colostomy” could be a death metal/crust-core band.
